You say you work alone etc thats why you come on here os that to have banter etc or would ypu want to be all serious on here to ? I love banter and have a dry sense of humour so what i find funny others wont ! But id never want it to be bullying or seen as bullying !
In my opinion, just opening this thread is bullying, it is a direct assault on this chap. He has replied saying he is not a duplicate account and croppie has confirmed that he is not a duplicate account, so delete the thread and let him be.
 
he's got more bounce back than zebidee, so if his next post raises a few eyebrows thats his choice. He has seen how it is on here and it seems he is genuine in his wish to become a good tradesman so if he takes advice he will fit in a treat, if he keeps posting horrendous pics he'll be getting a bit of a slagging, bit like being on a site really/
 
Posts could only be construed as bullying if they're a blatant attack for no reason, I.e.

Supper plumb, your penmanship is diabolical!

A post from someone more experienced telling you the right way to do things can't be considered bullying really. For instance, if 100% of the forum members contributing to a thread say you don't need a roll of PTFE on iso olives and threads, surely that's advice worth taking?

My advice to supper plumb, would be, don't teach your grandma how to suck eggs, tone down the arrogance, and defensiveness. But most of all take the advice, because whoever is teaching you isn't doing a very good job. His way isn't always going to be the right, or the best way.

Wrong. The thread has been started because some of the nonsense he's spouted is actually so hilarious, it's created genuine suspicion. It's self inflicted.

2 posts in this thread were reported. Not saying which one's or by whom. I'll be having a chat with the other mods later to see how, if at all, we deal with them.
 
supper plumb had good advice early on and chose to completely ignore it. If he was my apprentice he'd have had a good beating by now.

Problem is, he's following his bosses practices. It's him who needs the beating.

Can you still do that Keefy.. :book: Allegedly your honor the incident took place in a toilet, the accused a Mr.Pee.Keefy, then said " I took the lads particulars down " and it went downhill from there on in, I don't think even a plumber can thump someone, albeit after work in the pub, I rest my case your honor...

cmom your polish pretending to write english, or you havent set up your spell checker for english uk but romanian uk🙂
 
I think we would all lay off the poor chap, he's only learning and coming on here for advice and everyone seems to be shooting him down.

Sometimes people just need a nudge in the right direction and a helping hand along the way, surely this place is the perfect vessel for something like that.

Ive seen people get shot down on site as have many of you lot most probably and its not a nice site, especially when all that person needs is a bit of friendly advice.

You've changed since turning green!
 
Tom, its saying things like this that result in getting shot down. Cocky, Arrogant, Dangerously under skilled and seemingly unwilling to learn.

He needs to wind his neck in a little on that front agreed. But if he learns to be a bit more receptive to advice and humble then surely people can help him out.
